The Badminton Tournament
Come & challenge other badminton teams at the 2010 Brussels Games!
As is tradition, we organise a doubles-only badminton tournament. Everyone can play: male, female and anyone inbetween; all levels welcome! We can accommodate up to 230 players on 21 courts, so don’t be shy to register. What's more: register and pay before 11 July 2010 and get a 4 € discount!
- Women Doubles in levels A, B+, B-, C+ and C-
- Men Doubles in levels A, B+, B-, C+ and C-
- No double partner? No problem!
Single players can register for a surprise double partner of the same level - Note: players who have won a gold or silver medal within the last two years should register for a level higher than the level in which they won the medal. The tournament organisers will adapt your level if necessary.
The tournament day
The day starts at 9am with an effective & collective warm-up session with our fitness instructor. We’ll first play round robins (each team plays all other teams in a subgroup of 5-7 teams) to qualify for the finals – this way everybody gets to play a minimum number of matches (because that’s what we all come for: play!). The best teams from the round robins will go on to the finals in a knock-out system (you win, you continue; you lose, you’re out).
A medal ceremony is foreseen after the last finals are played, around 17:30. From 18:00 to 19:00 we booked a swimming pool to ‘cool down & dress down’ along with the athletes of all the other sports.
- And don’t forget to book a ticket for the superb Saturday evening Brussels Games party (10 €), the yummy brunch on Sunday morning (20 €) and the guided gay & lesbian tour of Brussels (free, but reservation required) – for you and your friends.
Participants coming from abroad can apply for hosted housing. They will be offered private accommodation with a BGS member in or around Brussels – on a first come first served basis.
